Not wanting to harm the dove, its nest or the precious contents inside, bike-share officials instead decided to lock the bike down until the chicks have left the nest.

"This bird has decided to start her family in a Red Bike basket," the post reads. "We've locked the bike down so that no one can ride it until her chicks have left the nest. Welcome to your new home, Momma Bird."

Of course, one Red Bike user took issue with the bike-share allowing the bird to do something that would typically cost a human using the service $8.

Red Bike's response? "Birds are notorious for never remembering their wallets."

How long Red Bike users will have to wait to use the bike depends on how far along the mother bird is. Mourning doves' gestation period ranges between 14 to 16 days. Then, after the chicks hatch — there are usually two — they leave about 11 or 12 days later.

So, you're looking at about a month. Maybe less.

But this also may not be the last time the bird raises her young in the bike: According to the Diamond Dove website, mourning doves who have successfully raised their young in a specific site typically return to the same site year after year.
